Soft, earthy and steeped in tradition, mullein is a distinctive wild plant with a fascinating place in the history of herbalism.
Made from the dried leaves of mullein (Verbascum thapsus), this simple herbal infusion celebrates one of the countryside’s most recognisable plants. Its velvety, silver-green leaves and tall golden flower spikes have made it a familiar sight in sunny meadows, field edges and other open places.
Mullein has a long history in traditional European herbal practices, particularly in preparations associated with the throat and chest. Its soft, woolly leaves have inspired generations of plant lore, making it a fascinating botanical for those interested in traditional herbal knowledge.
With its mild, earthy character, mullein leaf tea offers a simple way to explore this traditional plant in a warming cup.
Steep the dried leaves in freshly boiled water for around 10–15 minutes, then strain very thoroughly through a fine paper filter or suitable fine-mesh filter before drinking. The tiny hairs on mullein leaves can irritate the mouth and throat, so ordinary coarse tea strainers may not be sufficient.
Enjoy warm and unhurried, allowing the subtle, earthy flavour to speak for itself.
